I like to feel like my right hand is slowly acceleratingi the club back during my takeaway. You need to pull on your left arm slightly to get the backswing in motion and then once you have it in motion just keep pulling lightly until the top. I want to feel like I'm creating a bit of momentum at first and then just helping it along and going with it without getting in it's way. The first move in the takeaway should be smooth.
Kind of like rolling a ball with your putter while keeping the ball on the clubface...if you accelerate too fast the ball will not stay on the face. It will shoot ahead.
I like to envision the general motion of Vijay's takeaway for some reason. So smooth.
